  1. Angela was only 29 years old during the taping. She is deep. If it were not for its service to the ruling class racusn wouldn't even exist. Our schools, which teach racism, serve the ruling class as well. Fannie Lou would be dead 4 years later, and Stokely would die at 57.
  2. lol. No problem. You try not to burn up down there. I was across the street during the first attack in a building that was destroyed during the 2nd attack.
  3. So @daniellegfny do you believe the mask wearing, social isolation, increased border control, school closures, etc are an overreaction? You relalize, despite all the precautions, almost 170K people have already died in just a few months, in the US alone (3/4 of a million world wide). Countless more have long term medical conditions. Likening Covid19 to the common cold is an interesting position to take given the evidence.
  4. @Delano where are you ever 100% free of danger? Florida has tornadoes and NYC has terrorists attacks.
  5. See what happens @Pioneer1 when people believe Black people and white people are not part of the same race.
  6. Reading the article, you quoted from, was frustrating because it was laced with opinions and conjecture. I went back to the top of it a realized it was not reporting, but an opinion piece. The actual news was far less inflamatory. Again you are trying to make seem like every white police officer wants to start a race war. This is just some guy, hiding behind a fake identity, making dumb comments on social media. How come all of your example are of officers falling over themselves apologizing. Can't you find anyone who will stand by their statements? It would be interesting to know who sold him out and why.
  7. I might be inclined to believe you, but prior to the advent of social media. Getting participation from women was not a problem. Besides prior to the Amazon ban, I did virtually no moderation. That said I do believe participation would be higher with a Black female face and leadership. In fact, I believe AALBC would also do better if I were female. Most of the previously successful indie book sites were/are led by women. I'm actually gonna start looking for a Black female bookseller to work with me. If any one out there has an interest please email me troy@aalbc.com. Where are these Black forums of which you speak? Share some URLs
  8. Lol! I wonder you here would get that reference? @O.W. thanks! Please share my info with them.
  9. So your reasoning for Black Americans to own a gun is because white people own them and are preparing for a race war?
  10. @Pioneer1 you made it sound like it was proof of a conspiracy to kill Black people. The fired white cops were unlikely to haved killed any niggers, cause they would have done it already. As far as producing evidence for you, I thought I was crystal clear on that. Do you still believe in multiple human races?
  11. Yes they, and most Americans, should not own guns.
  12. @Pioneer1, man I've known you too long to go down the road of producing evidence in an effort to change your mind. Despite sharing with you volumes of evidence proving the concept of race is artificial, you still reject it, so I'm not gonna waste my time. But if you looked for the proof yourself you'd find it. Man, I watched the video there is nothing in it to show that there is a plan to kill African American's. You've twisted the information presented in the video.
  13. Yet another reason we need to stop the proliferation of guns. I can buy an assault rifle today. I know too many people who already own one. The quotes do illustrate just how dumb and racist some people are. That brother running Wilmington's police department has his work cut out for him. I wonder now if the fired white officers are more or less likely to kill a Black person now...
  14. Dag man that was a scathing critique of a place you have recollection of and have not visited in a decade. 🤨 Reaction to the pandemic has become a religious war. So when you write... I know you are exaggerating to make a point, but the fact of the matter is MOST schools have not reopened yet and and those that have none have seen 1/2 the student become infected. But the type of extremism is just as bad as people who refuse to wear a mask. Municipalities have hard decisions to make considering lives and livelihoods. @Delano that video was interesting and beautiful. Fortunately tornadoes do not often hit populated areas. I did look at one apartment complex which boasted a tornado shelter. One of the appealing things about that part of the country, indeed much of the US is it's beauty. I know a lot of people who run outside the country and never appreciate the magnificent landscapes this country has to offer.
  15. Nice article, and nice of you to promote your new talent. Instagram is still a huge time sink for most people though 😉
  16. Of course, but but sex is not what I was questioning. @daniellegfny you don't have to copy people's entire posts -- just quote the specific thing you are responding to, or respond in such as why the it is obvious who or what you are addressing. Your response above which was just 2 or 3 sentences, but they were buried in all the text you copied.
  17. @Pioneer1 If I have white skin can I be Black? What proof would satisfy you? When you make a statement like; "You NEVER heard a Jew call another Jew "anti-Semitic." Besides making an assumption of what others have heard, you are drawing conclusions against your limited knowledge. Surely you know that no group is a monolith and are bound to disagree. The word "never," which you capitalized for emphasis, is a word I rarely use because it is so absolute. But you think in absolutes. Some Jews are left wing others are right wing, some are in favor working with the Islamic world other want it wiped off the map. You cant image a scenario in which one jew would call another an anti-Semite -- even if you NEVER heard it? How often are you around people who practice the Jewish religion anyway? I lived in NY. Howabout you?
  18. Never. Just one of many reasons gun ownership is a terrible idea Do you believe for one second that those restrictions have ever stopped anyone from getting a gun if they wanted? @Pioneer1 I survived NYC from the 70's through the 90's without ever owning a gun. The vast majority of us living there did. But hey if running around with a gun make you feel secure or more like a man -- do you. Just try not to kill anyone over some stupid shit like walking through your neighborhood or parking in a handicap spot. I won't need one in Tulsa either unless I plan on going hunting.
  19. @I love black forums Where have you been lately? No need to complain about Lipstick Alley, bring you friends and hang out here 🙂
  20. I know a lot of people who are buying guns, own them, or considering buying one (I was one if those). Then I thought about it, and concluded it is a really bad idea. We've been manipulated into thinging it is a good idea... a rather sad state of affairs.
  21. Wait, what?! @Pioneer1 you may not have explicitly stated it, but everything you write indicates that you define race based upon skin color; that is one MUST have brown colored skin to be "Black" in your book. I'm I wrong? Of course jews call other jews antisemitic, some homos are indeed homophobic. Both are signs of self hatred. Colorism, born of racism, is a self-hatred as well.
  22. Thanks @Maurice. @Pioneer1 the great outdoors is still open as are most businesses, at least last month. Let me quess you were in North Tulsa right? Hard to compare Tulsa against there entire state of Texas. Texas is a pretty diverse state. I would describe Tulsa as an emerging Austin, TX. But Austin is the state capital, has longhorns football, and those food yrucks everone loves 🙂 I've been in 10 states in the last four weeks and things are opening up, not shutting down. The only exception was the Navajo Nation. I was there a couple of days during a 50+ hour shut down and everything was closed except the pumps at gas stations. I don't know any place in the U.S. that has done that.
  23. Yeah I know, when I started telling people this they all thought I was nuts or going through some crazy personal shit LOL! Well anyone who knows me would not be surprised at all. First, I'm not pulling up stakes here in FL and relocating to Florida (at least not right now), but what I have done is commit to moving to Tulsa for a year as part of a privately funded program, called Tulsa Remote to attract cool people like myself to move to Tulsa and infuse the city with some diversity and class LOL! The program includes a variety of incentives, free co-working space, $10K, deals on housing and more. They also covered a visit to the city (I visited last month), gave us a tour of the city, hosted networking events. I used the time to look at housing and learn more about Black Wall Street.
  24. More voices are always better on a discussion forum FAS. Now if can only get Queenx to consider creating an account my job would be done.
  25. You can stop after "God help us."
